Section 9 PL notes:
07:48 Repeat ("don't . . . don't you mean")
09:14 Repeat ("and . . . and I don't see")
09:56 Repeat ("and . . . and Mary didn't tell me")

I love your character voices! This plot of this book is not going in any direction I predicted... Also, I didn't hear any background noise at all.

Chapter 1 is here

Could I claim the final chapter as well?

David,

Wonderful reading! Thank you so much for participating.

Section 3 PL notes:
0:00 Too much silence at beginning; should be maximum of 0.5-1 second of silence (currently 4 seconds)
19:23 Too little silence at end; should be 5 seconds (currently 4 seconds)

Section 4 PL notes:
01:55 Misreading that affects meaning ("she was wondering" read as "she was wandering")
22:38 Too much silence at end; should be 5 seconds (currently 7.5 seconds)

Please make the corrections noted and re-upload each file using the same file name. Post in this thread with the new file lengths when you are ready for spot PL.

Time 19:03.

I guess I got carried away with characterizing...(OK, I misread or stumbled.) It's fixed.

OH..you're gonna be really surprised at the end, when ....Just kidding, I would never.

Here are parts 3 and 4 again, with the start and end timings corrected:

As for this line:
QUOTE
As for Mary, she was wondering confusedly why she had come. And, still wondering, she drew yet nearer and looked up into his face.
END OF QUOTE

There is no conceivable way either time I say 'wondering' that it could be heard as 'wandering'. I have listened to that fragment over and over again and it is crystal clear that I am using the vowel sound of 'up', 'some', 'love' and 'cup', not in any shape or form the sound from 'want', 'got' or 'fog'.

Under tonnes of London plums are sums loved by gloved sons, someone wondered.

Thanks, David! Both sections are now PL OK.

Hi Cadastra

I will be the old maid and finish up with chapter 14, if you want.
